Setting Description
Hostname The host name of the Evolution PBX server.
Behind NAT Set to Yes if your Evolution PBX server has a private IP Address (usually
begins with 10., 172.16., or 192.168.) and access the Internet using
NAT. Yes is the default and typical setting. Set to No if your Evolution
PBX server has a public IP Address and is not behind a NAT.
External IP The public IP Address of your Evolution PBX server (from the viewpoint of
the Internet). Typical small and medium business installations use a
public IP Address provided from an Internet Service Provider on their
router or firewall and private address for devices on the Local Area
Network including for Evolution PBX. In this case the public IP Address on
the outside of the router/firewall will be used for Evolution PBX’s External
IP Address setting. This address is important for remote extensions that
connect over the Internet. If you are not sure of this address set Self
Discovery to Enabled and this address will automatically be set for you.
Note: Routers, firewalls, Internet access, and Local Area Networks differ
greatly from one business to another. Your network may require you to
forward TCP and UDP ports to allow remote extensions and VoIP service
providers to function correctly. Please see the section Networking, Quality
of Service, and Firewalls for more information about port forwarding.
Local IP The IP Address for your Evolution PBX Server on your Local Area
Network.
Local Network Displays and sets the local network address and subnet mask of the Local
Area Network that your Evolution PBX server resides on. If Evolution PBX
is behind a NAT router, this setting is used to determine which IP
Addresses are local and thus be allowed access to Evolution PBX
configurations. If you have several local networks that require access to
Evolution PBX, set the Self Discovery option to Disabled and list all your
local networks separated by a comma (for example, for the two subnets
192.168.0.0 and 192.168.1.0 enter the following:
192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0,192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0).
Gateway The IP Address of the default gateway for the Local Area Network.
Network Mask The subnet mask for the Local Area Network.
Primary DNS The IP Address of the primary Domain Name Server to resolve
Hostnames to IP Addresses.
Secondary DNS The IP Address of the secondary Domain Name Server to resolve
Hostnames to IP Addresses.
Self Discovery Set to Enabled to allow Evolution PBX to ping the Internet and learn its
external IP Address and allow Evolution PBX to calculate your Local
Network. Otherwise the external IP Address must be manually
configured. The external IP Address is used for remote extensions
(remote extensions are telephones that are connected through the
Internet).
